... including ads at the bottom of every page of our forum, I've had my own menu appear just where you want your ad to appear. The thing is, it literally appears on the top of every page of our forum. But that should be fine.

Try the following experiment to see if it works for you, and if it does, simply place your ad code where you want it. That's one of the great things about using YaBB. It allows HTML language to be used, which has worked out well for our forum.

So, in your Admin Center go to Forum Layout and then Template ... open default/default.html (or whatever template your forum uses) ... and then look for the following code:

</table>{yabb addtab}

Right below that code, type in the following to test how it works in your forum:

<center>Test</center>

Save your work.

Go to your forum, and you should see the word "Test" appearing just where you want it. You'll see that it will always appear throughout your forum.

As such, all you need to do is to place your ad there, and you'll be good to go.

Hint: You may want to place your ad in a table to make it show up more clearly. If you want to test how that will look, use the following HTML language where you want it:

By the way, I think I found a better placement for your ad; I'm guessing where you want it to be. You can scroll to my next post, or click here for it.

I'm sure you're correct. The thing is, following your instructions doesn't work for me, and like he stated, it didn't work for him either.

At least in my case, I suspect the reason your instructions aren't working for me is because I'm using our default/default.html template rather than the Display.template one you mentioned. I literally tried that, and it didn't work; at least for me it didn't.

But I'm sure it's not you; it's me that's messing up somehow.

In any case, I've been placing ads wherever I've wanted in our forum since 2002, so the way I've been doing it has obviously been working just fine; thank you YaBB!

On that note, I did some more testing, and found a better placement for his ad, which is as follows:

The word "Test" will appear exactly where you want, so that means you can place your ad there, too.

Good luck, and have fun templating your forum the way you like.

Basically,you have to figure out where you want to put the ad and then find the specific place (default.html or one of the templates) and put in the ad pretty much like adding it to a static page using proper HTML. And yes, it can be a challenge to figure out exactly where.

If you only have one solution to a problem you're not trying hard enough!

Thankfully, YaBB's template editing has made it relatively easy for me even when I wasn't quite sure where I was supposed to place the text I wanted to appear.

Basically, I just insert the word "test" where I think the placement should be, and then I search for that word to see where it ended up on the page. I'm usually pretty good at getting it in the right place, or at least close enough where a little more trial and error ends up getting it right in the end.

Using the Ctrl-F command in Windows makes searching for text really easy, and fast.

Morning, noon, or night, have a great one!

I thought the same thing, but clearly I was wrong. After seeing his video, which illustrated his original instructions more thoroughly, I realized I was looking in the wrong place for the change I had made in our forum's default/Display template.

In other words, his instructions literally produce what you want.
